The losses shouldn't impact LSU or Alabama, which were separated by 0.0003 at the top of the standings. In the new coaches poll, the Tigers are No.1 and the Crimson Tide are No. 2. In the BCS, the spot behind the two SEC schools opens up with the Sooners falling. And the Badgers will drop back from the No. 6 spot they occupied.

Oklahoma State, which beat Missouri 45-24, looks likely to move into the third spot in the new BCS release due to the Cowboys being ranked No. 1 in the computers last week. Oklahoma State is now No. 4 in the coaches poll.

The question will be whether Boise State, which topped Air Force 37-26, can jump from fifth to fourth, will move up or whether Stanford and Clemson can move past the Broncos after impressive victories.

The biggest factor will be the human voting. The Cardinal jumped to third in the USA TODAY poll and should rise from seventh in the Harris Interactive poll after routing No. 24 Washington. Their computer ranking of eighth could also get a boost.

Boise State and Clemson, which were fifth and sixth in the computers, should also move forward in the polls, making for an interesting unveiling Sunday night when we find out where everything shakes out.
